GOP 'makes up' Biden problems while Trump proves he's 'crazy' every day: Morning Joe
June 11, 2024
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough profanely bashed conservative media for cooking up false evidence that President Joe Biden was suffering from age-related mental problems when Donald Trump publicly exhibited alarming behavior on a regular basis.
Conservative social media users circulated a video over the weekend that was edited to make it appear that Biden tried to sit in a chair that wasn't there at a ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and the "Morning Joe" host pointed out that most of the alleged proof of the president's mental decline was fabricated or exaggerated while Trump exhibited signs right out in the open.
"One of the tells on just how crazy he was was, looking at the people that had driven hours to be there, put on their Trump hats, and through the whole time, they're going like this, looking at each other in the background, going, 'What's exactly going on here?'" Scarborough said. "Turning around and whispering, 'What's he talking about?' Well, he's talking about what he always talks about. You know, we have Trump, he's been doing this. This is why the Biden campaign has been desperate to get Donald Trump out of a courtroom where he has to be quiet and on the campaign trail where they can hear him. Trump spews an hour of bizarre non sequiturs, and he's been doing it for years. Sharks, electric boats, Hannibal Lecter, what a great guy he is, about executing the chairman of the joint chiefs, not paying the teleprompter company, mosquitos, World War II, the gathering storm of World War II that's coming, President Obama still being president of the United States, which he continues to do eight years after president Obama went home."

"If Joe Biden had given one of those speeches, it'd be on the front page of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal the Washington Post, and everybody would be doing exactly what they were saying," Scarborough added. "But for Biden, Biden goes to D-Day ... they're trying to make it look like, oh, he's trying to sit down. Oh, my God, there's a chair not there. Everybody on the stage was because Lloyd Austin wasn't done with his speech yet. There are three, four different things where the Republican Party is lying."
Scarborough pointed to a Wall Street Journal report last week that cited ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and unnamed GOP lawmakers who claimed Biden was suffering from age-related memory problems, which contradicted some of their on-the-record comments about his mental acuity.
"They knew that Kevin McCarthy, what he was telling the Wall Street Journal was a lie," Scarborough said. "They knew because Kevin McCarthy said before what a great negotiator Biden had been at the very meeting where they tried to get McCarthy to say, well, he was out of it. It is a big tell – they talked to senators and Nancy Pelosi and others who said, 'No, no, let me explain to to you what happened in the meeting.' They went into detail about how Biden was pulling people together. I remember in the same meeting, it was Biden and everybody else trying to move [House speaker] Mike Johnson along. We reported on it at the time. The Wall Street Journal runs a front-page story, a lead story that they know is a lie."
"With Biden, the Republican Party has to make sh*t up," he added. "I'm sorry, I can't think of a better way to say that. Trying to make Biden look old and demented. Trump does it every day on the campaign trail, and people just laugh. Yeah, he's crazy – look at that. Can you believe he is so stupid, he talks about this? He melts down when his teleprompter goes down. That's funny. That's the political world we're living in in 2024."
